Add to this the use of top quality ingredients, an extensive choice of sakes and wines and the characteristic Japanese interior and you are guaranteed to feel the truly authentic Japanese hospitality at its very best. The social setup of the restaurant - sharing tables - makes it the ideal setting for celebratory dinners. You will find Teppanayki Restaurant Sazanka on the ground floor of Hotel Okura Amsterdam.

What to expect at Sazanka

The teppanyaki griddles are large enough for seven to ten guests. This means that when making a reservations for e.g. two persons, you will be seated with other guests at a table. Awkward? Not at all, since we know from experience that this social setting can be the beginning of inspiring networks and great friendships. In addition, each party will set its own pace, so you might be ready for desserts while your neighbours are still enjoying their starters.

Eating with chopsticks?We are aware that not everyone is accustomed to eating with chopsticks. If you are not convinced of your own chopstick techniques, you can read about the basic principles or just ask our staff for 'beginnner chopsticks' or cutlery. Eventhough all of Sazanka's chefs are Japanese and will speak English, there are plenty of Dutch and English speaking team members around to assist you. Feel free to ask any explanation you need!

Something different?Looking for a totally different Japanese dining experience? Then try out the adjoining Yamazato Restaurant. This restaurant, also awarded one Michelin star, serves authentic Japanese cuisine based on the traditional kaiseki principles. Both Japanese restaurants are led by Executive Chef and Manager Masanori Tomikawa.
